Description
The Portwest FW42 Steelite Obra S1 safety sandal offers the ideal combination of airiness and certified safety for professionals working in warm conditions. This ventilated safety sandal is specially designed for wearers who need to do a lot of walking during their working day and require active cooling. Thanks to the high-quality cow suede and textile upper, you benefit from excellent breathability without compromising on the required foot protection in the workplace.
For which tasks and sectors is this safety sandal most suitable?
This ventilated safety sandal is ideally suited for dry and warm work environments where breathability is crucial for comfort. This includes work in logistics, warehouses, light industry, and the hospitality sector.
Because the sandal has open vents for maximum ventilation, this model is not suitable for wet conditions or sectors where work is done with liquids. However, the sandal offers excellent grip on slippery floors thanks to the anti-slip sole, ensuring you stay stable during active shifts.
What does the S1 rating mean for this Portwest FW42 safety sandal?
The S1 rating according to EN ISO 20345:2022 means that this safety sandal is equipped with a protective steel toe cap that is resistant to heavy impact. In addition, the sandal has anti-static properties and an energy-absorbing heel area to cushion shocks while walking.
The sole is also resistant to fuel and oil. This makes the model safer than a standard non-safety shoe, while the open sandal design ensures maximum air circulation around the foot.
For extra convenience, the sandal is equipped with an adjustable strap, a comfortably cushioned footbed, a padded tongue, and a handy pull tab at the back.
